LiftMaster98022 Premium Series (Replaced 8500) Jackshaft Garage Door Opener Battery Backup W/WiFi

Got everything installed by a licensed contractor and the sensor are giving issues, theirs no tension detectors so we always have to reset and closed the garage door manually. We keep having the contractor coming back to reset. DO NOT BUY!!!

I essentially never leave Amazon product reviews, however my experience with the product and the seller was so good, that I felt the need to share. I live in a single family house which has two 2-car garages, each of which has a double wide heavy roll up garage door with glass windows. The original electric garage door openers were Liftmaster 3800 jackshaft units, which have performed reasonably well for over 10 years. However recently they seemed to be struggling, even with the door being properly balanced. I knew it was time to replace the openers. I was comfortable in the Liftmaster product world, so I did research on a replacement. Liftmaster recently re-engineered their jackshaft openers, and now everything up to and including the model 8800 is end of life. The current new technology replacement (released June 2023) is this 98022 unit. This has a much improved DC motor, better logic board and electronics, built in battery backup, a better wall mounted control pad with digital display, and finally gets rid of the terrible problematic cable tension monitor system. I found the best price here from Ace Garage Door (located in Florida), but before I ordered 2 new units, I had some questions. I contacted the seller through the Amazon system, and received immediate, prompt, and thorough replies, even at odd hours and over the weekend. The seller even sent backup documents for me to read. I was more than satisfied, and ordered 2 units. These shipped promptly, however note that because these have battery backups, the units must ship ground from the Amazon fulfillment center (Prime doesn't get you any faster shipping). The units did however arrive as fast as expected and intact. The included instructions and parts were thorough, and as I had familiarity with a prior Liftmaster jack shaft system, deinstallation of the old systems and installation of the new ones was pretty straightforward.The new 98022 systems are way better than the old AC technology and logic. Smooth, fast, quiet operation. The setup process is much better, with easy programming of your cable drum size and door weight, and then setup of upper and lower limits, and automated setting of forces required for your door. The new included wireless LED ceiling light is really bright, and now I don't have any RF interference from the replacement LED bulbs I had in the old ceiling light system. I was able to deinstall my old separate add-on myQ unit, as these openers have built-in Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and myQ. With the myQ app on your smartphone, you get control from anywhere, as well as excellent data and diagnostics.Overall I am very pleased with the openers and with the seller.

This replaced another LiftMaster that served us well for over 10 years and only gave out when due to a series of brownouts the logic board decided to retire. Started looking for a replacement and realizing the possible storage space above the door decided to try the wall mounted LiftMaster 98022. The install was far easier than the original ceiling track one and took a lot less time. Programming the unit for the door was easy if you read the instructions and programming the remotes took no time at all. It has been work fine for a few days now and is far quieter than the unit it replaced. You can hardly hear it running and now the door moving in the track is almost the only noise.

This garage door opener is a huge headache. It was actually very easy to install but getting it programmed is a pain. There’s a whole bunch of light sequences that you have to understand to get it to handle the weight of your door correctly. We ended up having a certified LiftMaster technician come out and it worked great for about a week and then it started to throw error codes and would not close. We had the technician come out again and he said this is a common issue and that he would adjust it one more time but we would likely have to go back to LiftMaster and request a new garage door. Guess what we’re starting to have issues again so now I have to battle LiftMaster to get a replacement. This should not be the case for a $500 garage door opener!! Don’t waste your money on this.

This redesigned opener works flawlessly. It was quick and easy to install with very minimum of tools. Setup of the MyQ software and connection to wifi was simple. Operates my very heavy 12 x 14 insulated, hurricane rated overhead door effortlessly. When my other old opener fails on another door fails I will definitely replace it with one of these.
